What if we combined two of the world's most delicious meals, loaded pitas and smashed burgers? Once we throw in some Greek-inspired flavours, you've got one of my family's favourite dinners: Greek smashed turkey burger pitas.
A classic smash burger is a burger made by smashing the meat of choice onto a grill with a spatula. This sears the meat on the outside, locking in the juices and flavour. I love this pita variation- it's a must-try!
Storage
These Greek smashed turkey burger pitas are best eaten fresh. If you have leftovers, you can store the cooked smashed pitas and toppings separately in the fridge for up to 3 days in airtight containers.
Top Tip
For even cooking, please ensure you are smashing the meat to reach an even thickness on the pita. You can lift the edges with a spatula to double check if you are worried.
Is this a balanced meal?
They definitely are! The whole wheat tortillas are a great source of fiber, the turkey meat is a great source of lean protein and then you can load them up with all the vegetables of your choice. For even more veggies, you can serve with a side salad.
